Why Is Social Media Urging People Not to Buy Anything for 24 Hours Friday?

Boycott organizer John Schwarztold USA Todaythis week that he feels people are upset with corporate greed.

He spoke more at length about the matter in aFeb.

The People’s Union USA presents itself as politically nonaligned.

Its website states, “We are not Democrat, Republican, Independent, or any other party.

We transcend political labels.

We fight for fairness, economic justice, and real systemic change, something neither party has prioritized.”

Schwarz didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to."

King’s not the only one to draw a connection between the boycott and the president.

It is about the system as a whole.

Both political parties, both past and current leaders."

Actress Bette Midler alsoposted support for the boycotton BlueSky.

“Freeze your spending on Feb 28th…. Don’t shop!”

“And if you have to, c’mon turn to a local small business!”

Can such protests do anything?

But can a 24-hour protest really make a difference?

Crockett says that for him, most days are already no-shopping days.

“I’m not a fan of spending money in general,” he said.

So, for me, every day is kind of an economic blackout."
